Volume Transition of Liquid Crystalline Gels in Isotropic Solvents

The equilibrium swelling and phase behavior of the side chain liquid crystalline (LC) networks in isotropic (nonmesomorphic) solvents has been investigated as a function of temperature. The LC networks swollen in di-n-amyl phthalate or di-n-butyl phthalate exhibit discontinuous volume transition dri...
